Half His Age: A Teenage Tragedy (2017) is a three-part adult exploitation miniseries that uses a melodramatic thriller framework to explore themes of grooming, betrayal, and moral corruption. The series follows a high school teacher's illicit affair with a student, which devolves into blackmail and violent crime, transitioning from a forbidden romance into a dark, fatalistic drama.

as Darrell: Heather's stepbrother who assists in the blackmail scheme.

If a man is 40, half his age is 20—legally adult, though developmentally concerning. If he is 30, half is 15—statutory rape in most jurisdictions. If he is 50, half is 25—an adult, but the power imbalance remains. The title deliberately leaves the man's age ambiguous, forcing the viewer to do the math. This is a manipulative tactic: the viewer supplies the most disturbing possibility.
